Instagram is a place where people share photos of their morning oatmeal, their hometown skyline, and, of course, themselves. But for an ingenious few, Instagram is a place to showcase a love of Pantone colors, an obsession with color-coordinated pastries, or a knack for finding rainbows.
We dug deep for a dozen mesmerizing, meticulous, art project-like Instagram feeds. Warning: Your eye will wander.
